Hello there,

With an 80k rank in NEET PG in the OBC category and Maharashtra quota, your chances of securing a DNB seat are moderate, depending on the specialty and location. Here’s a general outlook:

Chances of Getting a DNB Seat:

1. Specialties:
   
   a) Less Competitive Specialties: You have a better chance in less competitive DNB specialties like Family Medicine, Community Medicine, Pathology, or Anesthesiology.
   
   b) Competitive Specialties: DNB seats in Radiology, Dermatology, and General Medicine might be harder to secure at this rank, but you can still try in less preferred or newly accredited hospitals.

2. Hospital Type and Location:
   
   a) Tier-2/3 Cities: Consider DNB programs in hospitals located in tier-2 or tier-3 cities, where competition may be slightly lower.
   
   b) Newer DNB Centers: Newly accredited hospitals might have less competition compared to well-established ones.
   
   

3. State Quota Advantage:
   
   Maharashtra Quota: Your OBC category status and state quota can improve your chances slightly in state counseling, particularly in DNB seats reserved for state candidates.
